Dress - What you want, normally, smart, casual. Followers are advised to wear leather soled well supported shoes. Square or long pointed shoes put you at a disadvantage. Gym shoes for men are fine.

If ladies can bring a dance partner, it will make things a little easier.

IMPORTANT: Payment can be effected on the first lesson. Please arrive a little earlier. NO refunds will be issued for missed classes. We make our utmost to maintain a leader-follower balance, therefore we must be informed of your intentions as early as possible to make the necessary arrangements. However we are not to be held responsible for any unbalance.

Gift Vouchers: Please remember that you can always give a Tango course as a gift to a loved one or a dear friend.

***********************************

Information for both groups

***********************************

Who may apply: Those who have recently been dancing on a regular basis AND have done beginners level 2 (principiantes) at least once, those who have been taking previous intermediate sessions or have done the equivalent in private sessions (if you are not sure if you are of the level to take the course you can ask us, and we will guide you accordingly).

Price:

For one group: 30 Euros for the 4 sessions

If you would like to attend both groups: 45 Euros for the 8 sessions (note: the two groups will be covering exactly the same material, however those of you who wish to be more confident with the elements that we cover, you might find it useful to actually attend both groups - this of course is entirely up to you and not necessary)

How to apply:

* Send us an email indicating your 1st preference group (Di Sarli/Gardel), but let us know if you can make it for all the dates in both groups.

* Tell us if you want to attend both groups

* As always if you have a partner it is better, so let us know that too.

* We will try to balance out the two groups equally

* We might have to refuse bookings if there is a large unbalance in leaders/followers, or ask you to shift groups to achieve the best balance possible

* We will confirm bookings once we have an equal dis tribution between groups and leaders & followers

Important Note: If there are elements of Beginners Level 2 that you feel you have not yet mastered, we recommend that you re-take those sessions at half price (check out with Nathalie for details). Elements from Beginners 2 will be used extensively and obviously we will be assuming that you are fluent in their use, and we will not be re-explaining those elements.

Conditions:
Sorry, we are not able to refund missed classes. We also do not guarantee balance in any of the classes. However we will do our best to ensure that if there is a gap in leaders and followers, this is a manageable one.

Please email back to confirm your attendance. If you need any further clarification let us know.

These courses are organised with:
